NTL cable tv to InFocus X1

[45six]

I'd got the impression I couldn't get from RGB Scart socket on the NTL box,
to S-Video input on the projector !?

Would this lead be suitable ?

That should do it.

If you cable STB has an S-Video option that will work.
My TeleWest Pace box can only do RGB or composite and won't feed S-Video.

It has two scart sockets on the back, one for video one for tv.

I'm presuming you mean if it has an option in the settings for svideo output ?
The signal the box outputs ?

So composite / RGB output via the scart requires more than just that cable ?

SCART sockets are just connectors - they can carry composite, S-Video or RGB signals. The hardware inside my TeleWest Pace box won't output an S-Video signal at all - there are settings in the TeleWest menus to chose between 'video' or 'RGB' but not S-video.
If I connect a SCART>S-video lead to the S-video input on my TV I get a black and white picture (IIRC).
If there is an S-Video option in the NTL menus then that lead will work.
Alternatively you could use the Video SCART socket with a SCART to composite lead to the composite input on your projector, that would work but not look that great.
If you want s-video then you would need a convertor like this http://www.keene.co.uk/cgi-bin/bigcodesearch.pl?RGB2S or this http://www.js-technology.com/rgb-svideo/index.htm

cheers. I'll stick (as advised) to watching NTL tv on the television.
